How to Select an At-Home Facial

With the holidays just around the corner, it’s important to find time to relax and treat both you and your skin. After all, skin can react poorly to the increased stress levels of the holidays. A skin care face mask or home facial is a perfect way to treat yourself to some quality “you” time this holiday season while also doing something healthy for your skin and your complexion. If you’ve never selected an at-home facial or face mask before, here are some tips to get you started.

Acne Face Masks and Facials for Acne-Prone Skin
Acne breakouts can increase over the holidays due to increased stress levels as well as diet and lifestyle changes. If you’re experiencing more breakouts than normal leading up to the holidays, an acne face mask can help augment your acne treatment products to get you clear skin for the New Year. Don’t look for masks that work to dry out your skin. Particularly with the drier air of winter, they can actually lead to over-dry, red, irritated skin and additional acne breakouts. Instead, look for masks that will draw out impurities from your skin, such as Murad Clarifying Mask. Murad Clarifying Mask uses rare earth clays to draw out the impurities that can clog pores and cause acne-causing bacteria to build up.

Look Younger for the New Year with an Anti Wrinkle Facial
A resolution to use anti wrinkle skin care products can mean that by the time New Year’s rolls around next year, you actually look as though you lost instead of aged a year. Instead of traditional anti wrinkle creams, look for a home facial that will help to not only slow down the breakdown of collagen, but will also work to increase cell turnover to lift newer, younger-looking skin to the surface. Murad Intensive Resurfacing Peel uses Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) to lift away dead surface skin so that newer, younger-looking skin is revealed.

Vitamin C Face Masks for a Healthy Skin Infusion
Particularly with the onset of winter, a Vitamin C home facial can be a great infusion of energy for your skin and for you. A Vitamin C facial can infuse the skin with healthy antioxidants so you keep that healthy glow all winter long. Both the Murad Vitamin C Infusion Home Facial Kit and the Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Mask can improve winter skin quality with antioxidants, Vitamin C and ingredients to help your skin stay healthy, glowing and fresh—even if the weather outside is anything but.
